Chapter 146: The Screaming Band of Xuji Group Appears
Even Xiong Lu, who is half a fan of Xu Ji, is not favored by the media reviewers, let alone others.
After the performance of the Ange Band, the atmosphere at the scene has been raised to a very high point.
For audiences and media judges, the excitement threshold has also become higher.
If the Scream Band's performance does not continue to ignite the audience, the number of votes is destined to be very low.
Even if the performance is slightly mediocre, it may fall below 80 votes.
Breaking the lowest record set by Feng Huan Fengzhao in the previous period.
The media judges were all worried about the performance of Xu Ji's group, but Xu Ji seemed very calm in the lounge.
Including the four members of the Scream band who were standing on the stage at this time, they were not worried, but had excited expressions on their faces.
It seems that they have already been gearing up and waiting for the performance to begin.
......
The lights at the scene dimmed, first there were several regular sounds of drums and cymbals, and then the sudden and rapid sound of electric guitar sounded.
"This prelude?!!"
In the few seconds when the Screaming Band started their official performance, Xiong Lu didn't know why, but suddenly felt that maybe his previous idea was wrong.
Xu Ji's screaming band may really be able to capture the atmosphere of the next Anji Yiyang.
At the same time, the song information also appeared on the small screen,
""Highway Song""
"Singing: Scream Band"
"Composer: Wen Hao"
"Lyrics written by: Jiang Sheng"
Wen Hao’s set of lyrics and music was all written by Wen Hao alone?
Before She Yue and the other media judges had time to hesitate, the lead singer Ge Ge, who was holding the microphone under the stage, spoke.
"Where is the dream?"
"Always so desirable"
"You are walking on the road regardless of everything"
"All for the sake of coming to his side"
......
The band had just finished singing the first verse, when a few media people at the scene realized that something was right.
That song? It seems to be the same as the crotch stretching scene we expected from Wen Hao's group?
At this time, the Ge band continued to sing:
"Dreams are in the rear"
"The stars are everywhere tonight"
"Thinking of the distance and the girl in my heart"
"The road back has been so long"
......
At this time, the Ge band was completely immersed in the performance, and they were as excited as ever.
After waiting for the audience to react, it was time for the chorus.
"Keep driving south"
"Keep driving south"
"Keep driving south"
"Keep driving south"
Then there was Erdu’s guitar solo with a special intro. Compared with what happened after that, many people present had excited expressions on their faces.
"Damn it, that song seems to be wrong!"
"That's for me to rest! I just finished rocking with An Jiang Shengxiong."
"That chorus is so brainwashing that it makes people want to sing along!"
......
She Yue also looked very excited.
Wen Hao's screaming band took over the live atmosphere that Anji Yiyang left for the next show!
And I don’t even feel like I have to surpass it.
"Where is the dream?"
"The rolling wheel rolls the years"
"You are no longer willing to be intoxicated or fall asleep"
"If you want to continue, you still have to face it"
......
She Yue completely retracted her judgment of Jiang Sheng that time.
Jiang Sheng is only good at writing rock-style songs, and his level is even lower than expected.
That song "Highway Song" is definitely of high quality, and this song "Crazy Animals" is of high quality.
Even in She Yue's own opinion, Wen Hao's song should be better.
At this time, the members of the Scream band were very excited, and that performance was the most enjoyable we had ever had since the band was formed.
The main vocal band in the audience continued to sing:
"Dreams are in the rear"
"The light of dawn has illuminated slightly"
"You seem to have heard flowers blooming"
"This is the light of a prairie fire star"
Compared with the first part, the lyrics of the seventh part have not changed.
Although it is still very complicated, the lyrics are well written.
It’s because the media judges who hate paying attention to song lyrics made judgments inwardly.
The seventh chorus came, and that time it was just the main vocal band in the audience, and many audience members and media judges also sang along.
"Keep driving south"
"Keep driving south"
"Keep driving south"
"Keep driving south"
......
Although the chorus lyrics keep repeating those few words, because the tone is changing, it does not make people feel boring.
On the contrary, it completely ignited the audience's emotions.
The atmosphere at the scene had completely reached its lowest point in that episode, and it had not surpassed Anyoshi Ichiyo in the next episode.
Jiang Shengxiong completely let go, and I seemed to have returned to the time when the band was first formed and performed on stage for the first time.
At this time, the whole song also reaches its lowest point.
"Oh oh oh oh~"
"Keep driving south"
......
Before the scream band finished singing, many people were out of breath.
When it was over, the lady was still able to understand why the program team arranged for Xiaojia to stand.
But at this time, many people finally understood.
The scene was so boring that even the few media reviewers who were seated stood up.
The seven members of the Scream band had a very uncomfortable performance.
There were no mistakes in the end, and it was more perfect than every subsequent rehearsal.
Host Guan Zimo came off the stage.
"The performance of the Screaming Band has begun. Please vote for the media judges."
......
After hearing what the host said, Jiang Sheng naturally pressed the voting button.
After the Scream Band stepped down, She Yue predicted that Wen Hao would probably lose that time.
After all, Wen Hao has never written a rock song since then.
And from She Yue’s perspective, Wen Hao seemed to be good at composing that type of songs.
After listening to the song "Song of the Highway", She Yue realized that she had made a huge mistake.
I know who won first place between Wen Hao and Chi Jiang.
She Yue personally hates Wen Hao's songs.
However, the quality of Chi Jiang's song is very low, and Anji Yiyang's performance is almost perfect.
Jiang Sheng from both sides has voted, and She Yue will be pleased with whoever gets the final number of votes.
"Wenhao Group, Screaming Band's final vote was..."
"94 votes!"
When the voting results came out, Guan Zimo read out the votes.
At this time, some people still reacted and asked, "Did you surpass Anji Yiyo after that?"
......
The audience and media judges, who had been slow to remember the number of Jiang Shengxiong's votes for Jiang Sheng's group, spoke unconsciously.
"The votes were tied?"
"94 votes? Is that the same as the number of votes for Anji Yiyang in the next game?"
"Damn it, both groups have the same number of votes. Is this going to be a playoff? You've stopped looking forward to it!"
"Don't think about it. Have you forgotten the extra vote rule that the show has no audience support?"
......
Like the audience at the scene, many people outside the lounge also looked surprised.
There was actually a tie in the votes.
That was the first time it appeared, and no one thought of it after that.
When Chi Jiang played the song behind the Screaming Band, he actually had a good feeling.
The result turned out to be true. Later, I thought that Wen Hao should be able to write rock songs, which was obviously wrong. The other party only knew how to write rock songs, and his level was obviously higher than mine.
After that, I still had some minor feelings. I just thought that Wen Hao could write songs of all genres, and he wrote them quite well.
It wasn't until now that he was in the field he was good at that Chi Jiang suddenly felt that the young man Jiang Sheng was like a pervert.
I still don’t even feel that Jiang Sheng has yet to show his full strength after sowing. It’s so deep that I’ve bottomed out.
When I was young, my talent in composing was often called a genius by the media.
But compared with the current Wen Hao, Chi Jiang seemed to suddenly understand at this time that he really seemed to be a genius at that time.
.......
Wen Hao also thought that he would have a tie with Chi Jiang's song that time.
Later, Jiang Sheng actually never paid too much attention to Chi Jiang, a young songwriter.
But today's song "Crazy Animals" made Wen Hao know that he still overestimated those eight songwriters.
After that, it just happens that we don’t meet the other party’s areas of expertise. This is just our upper limit.
When they encounter a song style that they are good at creating, the quality of the songs produced by those people will not make a qualitative leap.
The reputation of being a songwriter and songwriter is indeed earned for nothing.
......
The host Guan Zimo heard the discussion on the stage and calmly explained:
"According to your rules, although Wen Hao's group, Scream Band and Chi Jiang, Fan Ruxin's group An Ji Yiyang have the same number of votes."
"But the ranking of that issue is still not determined. We still need to add the number of votes for the audience support ranking."
"So I have to worry that there will be a tie in the final votes."
"Since then, Xiaojia has been saying that there is no suspense in the announcement of the next ranking. The results of that period can be regarded as meeting Xiaojia's requirements."
......
The top ranking of that episode will probably not be announced until the last episode is recorded before the program is officially broadcast.
While the program was being recorded, She Yue thought silently.
At this time, many people on the scene were determined whether they would join Wenhao's Scream Band or Jiang Sheng's Anji Yiyang before the show was broadcast.
......
The recording of the eighth episode of "You Are a Songwriter" has begun.
When leaving the recording venue, Jiang Sheng from the Screaming Band followed Wen Hao closely, fearing that the other person would run away.
Jiang Sheng said helplessly: "In that way, did you agree to sign a contract with them just now?"
Feng Huan didn't feel embarrassed before hearing Wen Hao's words.
"Get used to it."
Wen Hao: "..."
In the evening, Jiang Sheng had dinner with the seven members of the Scream band.
Several members of the Scream band proposed drinking to celebrate a successful performance.
But Wenhao made it clear that the company's policy is to allow drinking.
At least I drink.
"Teacher Xu, did you drink or go to the bar?"
Feng Huan was talking loudly here.
Jiang Sheng pretended to hear.
Ever since the next time he was made drunk, Wen Hao had hesitated in his decision to drink.
And as a company boss, he made a rule that allows the boss to drink.
Because of that, I was laughed at by Sha Yetong for several days.
On the seventh day, did the Screaming Band return to Hangzhou with Wen Hao?
Although we have signed a contract, we have settled in other cities. It will probably take a certain amount of time to prepare if we want to move to Chengdu for work.
......
On the eighth day after Wen Hao returned to Chengdu after recording the eighth episode of "You Are a Songwriter", "The Beginning" was officially finalized.
And that time it was broadcast simultaneously on eight platforms at the same time.
On top of the cooperation between G station, Kiwi, and Tudou Video, the publicity and distribution work of "The Beginning" was done well.
Just one day after it was scheduled to be aired, it has not yet topped the list of cold searches.
Of course, that is also because many netizens have little interest in that script.
After all, it was Xu Zhize and Zhu Yan’s first drama before Fairy Sword One.
Before the broadcast of Fairy Sword 1, the popularity of the two was not at the top level.
And it is even less popular than the very few first-line actors.
But before this, the two people had very little exposure.
Xu Zhize only participated in two unpopular variety shows and was a guest in two episodes.
Zhu Yan even participated in variety shows, at least not posting a tweet from time to time.
And there are still no selfies.
This makes the fans of the two people quite satisfied.
And ended by complaining about how the artists of Tongji Entertainment are so active in business.
But after looking at Tongji Entertainment’s official WeChat account, which also had positive updates, I suddenly felt that the company itself was not that kind of character.
Jiang Sheng naturally has no idea of forcing the company to do business with those artists.
Even in normal times, I don’t have the right to manage several people’s Weibo accounts.
Whether the company took over or not, it was left up to a few people to decide.
Xu Zhize’s WeChat account is run by his manager Sister Chen, so it’s okay.
But according to Zhu Yan, since before you retired to Tongji Entertainment, you have become less and less like you are old and see through the world of mortals.
Maybe Xu Zhize joined the variety show because he was lazy, but Zhu Yan did it entirely because of his own personality.
It’s not Tongji Entertainment anymore. It must be some other company that would let you be so willful.
Of course, Wen Hao actually also thought about asking the people who signed contracts with the company to answer the notices to make money.
For Xu Zhize and Jiang Sheng, what I hope more is that they can concentrate on their roles as actors and not be blinded by fame and fortune.
In Wen Hao's memory, he has seen very few young actors who overextended their popularity and ended up being completely indifferent because they had no successful works before they became famous.
Of course, looking back, I don’t have to worry about that.
......
"Starring Xu Zhize and Zhu Yan? Damn it, I finally waited for a new drama starring the two of them!"
"That's great! Thinking of Li Xiaoyao and Lin Yueru in Sword and Sword, I still feel uneasy now. I hope that the drama can make up for the regrets at that time."
"Xu Zhize and Zhu Yan have collaborated in eight dramas? When will they be revealed?"
......
Netizens were all looking forward to it as soon as it ended.
But then few netizens noticed that the director of that drama was not Wen Hao.
If it were someone else's drama, netizens would actually care about who the director is, but Wen Hao is the same.
The reason why many netizens are looking forward to it is that apart from the two starring actors Xu Zhize and Zhu Yan, the most important thing is that they subconsciously believe that the director of their new drama will be Jiang Sheng.
"Who is Pang Er? Why is Wen Hao the director?"
"I just searched and it seems that he is the assistant director of "The Best of You" and "Legend of Sword and Fairy One"."
"You just discovered that the drama was actually directed by Wen Hao, and Wen Hao seemed to be just the screenwriter."
"Based on the shooting time, when the film "The Beginning" was filmed, Jiang Sheng was probably filming "Mountains and Seas"."
"Why do you feel that if it's Jiang Sheng, the drama is still suspense-themed, so it's very likely that he will jump on it?"
"How could Wen Hao's script be any worse than it is?"
"That's good. If the script is really good, how could Wen Hao film it himself?"
......
When the news about "The Beginning" was just announced, few people were full of expectations.
But when they found out that Wen Hao was the director of that drama, a few people seemed less disappointed.
Many netizens even thought that Wen Hao felt that the drama was worth filming, so he dumped it to his assistant director.
Moreover, suspense-themed dramas have a wide audience.
Although there is no fixed group of moviegoers, these viewers who hate suspense dramas are also very picky.
If something is slightly reasonable or satisfies us, we will come out and start complaining.
In short, that group of viewers is a group that everyone knows is easy to serve.
In addition to the Amway video for "Mountains and Seas" recently, Sanduolong has not found any other personal materials.
I was very excited when I saw the news about "The Beginning", but I found out that the director of that time was Wen Hao.
Yes, like many netizens, I am so disappointed.
Although Wen Hao is the director, it can't be clearly seen. There is still no trace of Wen Hao in that drama.
Director Shi Guang is the assistant director of Wen Hao's crew, and actors Xu Zhize and An Cailing are also from Wen Hao's company.
Jiang Sheng even wrote the script and served as the producer.
A suspense drama?
Sandolong is really looking forward to what kind of suspense script Wen Hao can write.
......
Looking at the online promotions for the drama "The Beginning", and at the same time G Station, Kiwi Fruit and Tudou Video have all ended their promotions, Xiong Lu understands that there is nothing.
I have also heard some news about that drama, and the investment in the entire drama is not small.
Moreover, it is a suspense drama with a relatively popular theme. Although the current suspense dramas have not yet had one or two hits from time to time, I still feel that such a publicity campaign is not too exaggerated.
Yes, since it is a simulcast, why did Penguin Video not get the copyright?
Xiong Lu thought of this and simply called Jiang Sheng and asked him to come to his office.
......
"Mr. Xu, are you looking for me?"
Before knocking on the door and retreating, Xu Sheng spoke.
Before his next trip to Chengdu, Xu Sheng knew about the current Penguin Video, and he probably did everything.
Jiang Sheng holds a small amount of power, so he has to argue with Xiong Lu for so long to even discuss copyright and related budget.
So Xu Sheng will simply destroy it now.
Anyway, I am just looking for the so-called promotion and achievement, so I can just mess around.
"Vice President Wen, do you remember that next time he applied for 40 million in copyright fees from you to negotiate with Wen Hao's company for the copyright of "The Beginning"?"
Xu Sheng nodded.
"We can talk about it."
Seeing Xu Sheng's so-called expression, Xiong Lu frowned.
"Why, apart from you Penguin, other companies like me and even Station G also got the rights to broadcast?"
When Xu Sheng saw the other party looking like he was going to accuse him, he couldn't help but cursed: "Why does he still know?!!"
It was a very polite answer even under the surface.
"Mr. Xu, you have enough money."
"So I can get the simulcast rights."
Xiong Lu was stunned for a moment.
Is the money enough?
I didn't expect Xu Sheng's answer at all.
And if we all buy exclusive broadcast rights, 40 million may not be enough.
But how can the simulcast rights be enough?
For Jiang Sheng or Penguin Video as a whole, many people hear the words "the money is enough" when buying film and television rights.
"How much is the copyright fee for the simulcast rights of the drama "The Beginning"?"
Jiang Sheng also planned to hide it, and answered truthfully: "The total network copyright fee is 800 million."
"I'm sure if you also buy it, you will need to pay 40 million according to the proportion."
Jiang Sheng was shocked by the price.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
I asked subconsciously: "Did the investment in "The Beginning" cost a lot? Is it worth so little money?"
It must have been before that Xu Sheng might have quarreled with the other party before he finished.
But now I just replied calmly: "It's okay."
Xiong Lu noticed Xu Sheng's perfunctory attitude, frowned and asked: "Since the difference is only ten million, why did he apply to you at that time?"
Xu Sheng still answered calmly:
"I dare to follow the conditions set by Mr. Xu."
"The amount you told me after I went there must have exceeded that amount, so don't you Penguin Videos be the ones who took advantage of me."
Xu Sheng was choked by the other party's words.
Those words were really what I said.
At that time, Xu Sheng came to me and asked for 150 million.
After bargaining at the beginning, I agreed to a budget of 40 million.
Thinking of that, Xiong Lu felt inexplicably less irritable.
Waved his hand.
"Okay, you know, let him go out first."
Xu Sheng still had this so-called expression, said nothing, and left Xiong Lu's office directly.
Before Xu Sheng left, Xiong Lu's face still looked good.
"You just believe it. If you get the simulcast rights of a big-invested drama, it will have a small impact on you!"
......
Station G, Xu Ji’s office in the film and television department.
"The Beginning" will be broadcast soon, and Station G has also obtained the broadcasting rights.
Is everything fine?
The assistant can understand why Xu Ji still has a straight face.
Xu Ji hasn't finished watching all the episodes of "The Beginning".
How is the quality of the drama in Changerdu?
And if it was all by accident, Station G might have suffered a loss when it bought the simulcast rights of that drama.
But again, because of the simulcast, compared to kiwi and potato videos, G station can’t make any money at all.
That was also the first time I got the exclusive rights to broadcast a drama produced by another company from Wen Hao.
The more Xu Ji thought about it, the more pity he felt.
You should have been more cruel then.
Now Wenhao Company is not short of investment, and the copyright of Sword and Sword Seven has not been sold as late as it was later.
And several other people also began to trust Wen Hao quickly.
If you want to get the exclusive broadcast rights now, I'm afraid it will only become easier and easier.
Xu Ji hesitated very early on to make Wenhao Company the most important partner of Station G in the future.
That is also the only hope that G Station’s film and television industry can overtake other companies.
But now...
Thinking of that, Xu Ji suddenly stood up from his seat, startling his assistant.
"Mr. Chi, what's wrong?"
Xu Ji walked directly towards the office, then said to himself:
